Connexions Student Support

The Connexions Service has a high profile here at Cannock Chase High School. We have the services of at least one connexions advisor on site every day of the school week and they work from a designated Connexions Zone based in the upper school site.

The Information, Advice and Guidance service provided by Connexions covers careers and learning, physical and emotional health and well-being, sexual health and relationships, drugs and alcohol, financial matters, justice, society, rights and responsibilities - all making a positive contribution to each of the 5 Every Child Matters outcomes.

This is achieved through activities which include:

  • Information and advice to support choices and decisions
  • Health Matters Day for all Year9 pupils that involved a number of agencies
  • Together with the school, identify those who are likely to need additional support/different provision
  • Work with groups of pupils, or on their own
  • Provide labour market information and informative publications
  • Drop-in sessions and self-referral offering impartial information, advice and guidance
  • One-to-one interventions with young people referred by school staff for additional support
  • Track the destinations of every young person leaving the school until they reach 19 years of age, and sustain support if required
  • Provide a presence and support for young people and their families on occasions such as - parents' evenings transition meetings and GCSE and A level results days
